And the Winning Marina Developer Is…

Brooklyn Bridge Park yesterday announced Edgewater Resources will develop and operate the marina next to Pier 5 in the park. Edgewater’s proposal calls for 125 slips on four floating docks, as well as a community boating program that includes kayaking and free and discounted boating for young people. The company has extensive experience designing, developing and operating marinas around the world. It will operate the marina under a long-term lease, said BBP.

The park also chose United Skates of America Inc. to operate the roller rink on Pier 2. It is supposed to open early next year. Ample Hills Creamery will expand its concessions near the Pier 5 sports fields and picnic areas.
